I don't have a picture from behind yet. I'll take one tomorrow.

The pipes are Freedom Performance Sharktail Duals. My bike is an 04 so there were no O2 bungs in it, but a drill and a welder fixed that.

 

Thanks!

Here are the pics

 

Very cool and looks great. There can't be a lot of clearance where the fishtails come up under the bags. Do they rub at all?

 

A bit over a 1/4", no rubbing at all. It took more adjusting to get them to line up with the inside of the bags than it did to get them level.

 

How do you like the performance and the sound of that exhaust system? Thanks much.

 

Went this route for an exhaust.. probably lost 10hp but worth it..

 

I love the sound of sharktails. Always did. That was the first change I made, then I decided to add the bagger tail. I don't notice any performance difference to be honest. My riding style is more laid back, then on the throttle so it doesn't make too much of a difference to me. I did go from a FatCat to the Freedoms though. The sound is night and day. It now really sounds like a Harley.

I also have a Thundermax tuner and did make some changes when I changed the pipes to compensate, so that could also be part of the equation.

 

After spending more time riding.. Id say I lost more like 3hp.. going from a 2 to 1 to a true dual.. I can still accelerate in 6th gear from 50mph... so am happy..

Im really happy with the "balanced" look it gave my "fat glide".

Be aware.. likely you will need to make a change to rear passenger pegs.. left is too close to the pipe... had to order floor boards

 

Cool. Thanks for getting back. I'm going with black ones.
